Newcastle have won three of their opening four Champions League games
Marseille have won one of their last three home matches in all competitions
Recommended bet: Newcastle to win
Winning three of their opening four games in the UEFA Champions League this season, Newcastle United head to the Stade Vélodrome confident they can best Marseille on their own patch in the south of France.
Newcastle go into this game on the back of an impressive 2-1 home victory over Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, in a match the Magpies should have won by more.
That display against former European champions City should give Eddie Howe's men a confidence boost ahead of a tricky game at the Stade Vélodrome.

Team news
Starting with the hosts, Marseille do have a handful of injury concerns going into Tuesday's game against the Magpies.
Nayef Aguerd is a doubt due to a groin injury, while Hamed Traore and Amir Murrilo are both struggling with dead legs.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will be hoping to return after he was rested as a precaution at the weekend, but the game will come too soon for Amine Gouiri, who is not expected back until January due to a shoulder injury.
As for Newcastle, the Magpies have a cleaner bill of health ahead of their trip across the Channel.
Will Osula (ankle), Yoane Wissa (knee) and Harrison Ashby (thigh) are set to miss out, but Kieran Trippier and Anthony Gordon still have a chance of featuring.
Lewis Hall was brought off against City, but Howe is confident he will be able to play on Tuesday.
The stats
Only Arsenal and Inter Milan have conceded fewer goals than Newcastle's two in the Champions League this season.
Marseille have conceded five goals after the first four rounds of this competition, the best record of any team in the bottom 16 sides in the Champions League standings.
The Ligue 1 outfit have hardly been rock-solid at home of late, winning one of their last three home games in all competitions.

Prediction
With two solid defences going head-to-head, it might only be a single goal that decides Tuesday's game in Marseille.
Newcastle will be riding high after that win over the Citizens and are backed to take down OM on their own patch, in what is likely to be a low-scoring encounter.
